Virtual Pregnancy Counselling for Anxiety, Stress and low mood
Pregnancy is often described as a joyful time, so it can feel lonely when what you mostly feel is worry, sadness, numbess, or dread. Virtual pregnancy counselling offers you a calm, unhurried space to sort through what's weighing on you, from wherever you are in BC.
As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (BCACC) and birth doula, I understand both the emotional and practical sides of pregnancy. I offer online sessions on weekday evenings and Sundays, so you don't have to fit therapy into an already full workday. And yes, you can do therapy in bed.
When prenatal counselling can help
Constant worry about the baby's health or something going wrong
Waves of low mood, mood swings, or an overall feeling of numbness about your pregnancy
Anxiety after a previous loss, a difficult birth or fertility struggles
Trouble sleeping, racing thoughts or feeling on edge
Feeling disconnected from the pregnancy or unsure how to feel about it
Stress at work, in your relationship or with family as things change
Fear about birth itself
How Virtual therapy during pregnancy works
We meet by secure video through Jane App. Together we'll get to know what your anxiety is trying to protect, and build ways to settle your body and mind that you can use day to day. My approach draws on somatic, compassion-focused and person-centered work, and you set the pace.
Partners can join for couples sessions, which can help when you're each carrying different worries. Or, we can create methods that work for your relationship to support one another in impactful ways during your pregnancy.
